Re: Fun Fun Fun Fest (ATX) 2012

I have a question of about FFF Nights: is it a good rule of thumb to pick one venue and stay there all night because of capacity reasons, or do people move around enough that you can watch a set and then move to another place?

I went to several of the FFF Nights shows and they never reached capacity. I'm sure if Snoop Dogg or some of the bigger names have shows then it might fill up. If I remember correctly they don't sell tickets to the public and with like 25 to 30 acts a night it's spread pretty thin all over the city so you shouldn't have much trouble.

December 10 - Children of Bodom/Abbath
December 16 - 18 - Day For Night
January 30 - Sleep
July 3 - Roger Waters

Here in the Hill Country we got a late freeze, hail, and a fucking tornado.

For the past two months I have been driving all over this state finding the smallest vineyards no one has ever heard of to get fruit from. One of the vineyards is right on the border near McAllen and has a border wall as it's south side fence. When I was there walking the vineyard, a group of Mexicans jumped the wall and ran off. We later found one of the guys laying under a tree, he had been bitten by a large rattlesnake and was on the verge of death.

In short, I'm having a fucking blast.
